Participate in QPP Today to Avoid a Penalty in 2019

September 07, 2017

Even though we have passed the half way point in the transition year of the CMS Quality Payment Program, it is not too late for providers to participate and avoid a 4% negative payment adjustment on their Medicare Part B Services in 2019. In fact, there is still ample opportunity for MIPS Eligible Clinicians (ECs) to earn a small payment adjustment and possibly even earn a bonus in 2019.

To avoid a penalty, report one of the following in 2017:

1 Quality Measure on 1 patient OR

Meet a minimum of the 4 base measures for Advancing Care Information OR

Attest to 1 Improvement Activity

If you are eligible for MIPS and you have not already implemented a process for capturing or reporting QPP data in your practice, call LAMMICO and let us help you!
